Description

The text-top=Chamfer PartDesign Chamfer command creates chamfers on the selected edges of an object. It adds a Chamfer object to the document with its corresponding representation in the Tree view.

Usage

Add a chamfer

  1. Make sure the correct body is active. If required double-click it in the Tree view.
  2. There are several ways to select the edges to chamfer:
    • Select one or more edges of the active Body individually.
    • Select one or more faces of the active Body to select all their edges.
    • Select a feature (usually the last feature) of the active Body to select all its edges. introduced in version 0.20
  3. For a chain of tangentially connected edges only a single edge needs to be selected, the chamfer will propagate along the chain.
  4. There are several ways to invoke the Chamfer command:
    • Press the text-top=Chamfer Chamfer button.
    • Select the Part Design → Apply a dress-up feature → Chamfer option from the menu.
  5. If there was no active Body, and there are two or more bodies in the document, the Active Body Required dialog will open prompting you to select one.
  6. The Chamfer parameters task panel opens. See Options for more information.
  7. Press the OK button to finish the command.

Edit a chamfer

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click the Chamfer object in the Tree view
    • Right-click the Chamfer object in the Tree view and select Edit Chamfer from the context menu.
  2. The Chamfer parameters task panel opens. See Options for more information.
  3. Press the OK button to finish the command.

Options

  • To add edges do one of the following:
    • Press the Add button to start selecting edges and/or faces in the 3D view.
    • To select all remaining edges do the following:
      1. If required press the Add button.
      2. Use the Ctrl+Shift+A keyboard shortcut, or right-click the list and select Add all edges from the context menu. introduced in version 0.20
  • To remove edges do one of the following:
    • Press the Remove button to start deselecting edges and/or faces in the 3D view. Selected elements are highlighted in purple.
    • Select one or more elements in the list and press the DEL key, or right-click the list and select Remove from the context menu.
  • Type: Choose a chamfer type:
    • Equal distance: One distance is used to place both chamfer edges.
    • Two distances: Two distances are used to place the chamfer edges. introduced in version 0.19
    • Distance and angle: A distance is used to place one chamfer edge, the placement of the other chamfer edge is defined by the angle of the chamfer. introduced in version 0.19
  • Press the Flip direction button to flip the direction of the chamfer (deactivated for Equal distance). introduced in version 0.19
  • Set the Size of the chamfer.
  • Set the Size2 of the chamfer (only available if Two distances is selected).
  • Set the Angle of the chamfer (only available if Distance and angle is selected).
  • Check the Use all edges checkbox to select all edges of the previous feature. This deactivates the selection list and the related buttons. introduced in version 0.20

Notes

  • PartDesign Chamfer should not be confused with Part Chamfer. Unless you know what you are doing, Part Chamfer should not be used on a PartDesign Body. See Part and PartDesign.
  • Chamfers cannot completely consume the adjacent faces.

Properties

See also: Property editor.

A PartDesign Chamfer object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Base

  • DataBase (LinkSub): Base. Sub-link to the parent feature's list of selected edges and faces.
  • DataSupportTransform (Bool): Support Transform. "Include the base additive/subtractive shape when used in pattern features.
If disabled, only the dressed part of the shape is used for patterning. Default: false.
  • Data (hidden)AddSubShape (PartShape): Add Sub Shape.
  • Data (hidden)BaseFeature (Link): Base Feature. Link to the parent feature.
  • Data (hidden)_Body (LinkHidden): _Body. Hidden link to the parent body.


Chamfer

  • DataCamferType (Enumeration): Chamfer Type. "Type of chamfer".Equal distance (default), Two distances.
  • DataSize (QuantityConstraint): Size. "Size of chamfer". Default: 1,00 mm.
  • DataSize2 (QuantityConstraint): Size2. "Second size of chamfer". Default: 1,00 mm.
  • DataAngle (Angle): Angle. "Angle of chamfer". Default: 45,00 °.
  • DataFlipDirection (Bool): Flip Direction. "Flip direction". Default: false.
  • DataUseAllEdges (Bool): Use All Edges. "Chamfer all edges if true, else use only those edges in Base property.
If true, then this overrides any edge changes made to the Base property or in the dialog". Default: false.

Part Design

  • DataRefine (Bool): "Refine shape (clean up redundant edges) after adding/subtracting". Default: true.
